What Matters When Evaluating Skin Care Products

In the world of skin care, choosing the products that deliver the best results can be challenging. With countless options flooding the ever-growing market, it’s crucial to separate the reliable solutions from the rest.

Joel Schlessinger, MD, knows the best skin care products have an intelligent, rational composition with the best ingredients and research behind them. He is a practicing double board-certified dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon in Omaha, Nebraska, with more than 25 years of experience treating a wide variety of skin conditions, including skin cancers, and aesthetic concerns, such as facial wrinkles and body contouring.

His patients come to him with various skin types and conditions that no one-size-fits-all approach can address. He chooses products that offer tailored solutions to their specific concerns and deliver optimal results.

As a trusted professional, Schlessinger guides patients toward the most suitable skin care products for their particular skin condition. He says without the expertise and guidance from a knowledgeable physician, many people purchase generic skincare solutions available at department stores or online retailers. “It’s the Wild West out there, with products that promise the world and don’t have benefits,” he said.

It is often buyer beware for these products because many of them claim to work without any proven benefits. “The reality is a lot of the skincare products on the market are not required from a regulatory standpoint to do extensive testing,” said Brian Biesman, MD, a plastic surgeon in Nashville, TN. “In order to make it onto the market, they have to be safe, but in terms of efficacy, they can claim just about anything because they’re not approved by anyone.”

When evaluating skincare products, ingredients and formulation are what matters. “From a dermatology perspective, we want medical-grade products that were sourced from the absolute best ingredients that are safe for the patients and that avoid having dyes or other ingredients that are potentially going to cause reactions,” Biesman said.

Jan Marini Skin Research has earned a reputation for their high-quality skin care line, which practices can sell to patients. The company offers a wide range of skincare products that have been carefully formulated, utilizing ingredients that have been thoroughly tested for both safety and efficacy.

Schlessinger says that by focusing on the ingredients and their scientific benefits, he can confidently recommend Jan Marini Skin Research to patients seeking reliable skincare solutions based on their individual needs.

“Jan Marini Skin Research concentrates on products that actually improve the character and quality of the skin,” he said. “They are committed to validating these results through clinical research.”

Jan Marini Skin Research often partners with physicians on product development and testing. Schlessinger has a collaborative relationship with Jan Marini Skin Research and has helped to develop and conduct independent peer-review studies.

Sherrif F. Ibrahim, MD, PhD, owner of Rochester Dermatologic Surgery, partnered with Jan Marini Skin Research on a study to evaluate pretreatment with topical products to either improve the outcome of laser treatment or reduce complications afterward.

The results showed that patients that used the products in conjunction with the laser had better and faster results. What’s more, after the study was over, the patients wanted to continue on the products.

“It was the first study to actually quantify the contribution of pretreatment with products prior to lasers and actually determine the exact amount it helps,” Ibrahim said. “Jan Marini Skin Research’s mission to be really science-driven and evidence-backed impressed us and is the reason we continue to work with them.”

Jan Marini Skin Research sets itself apart by combining products with devices to enhance outcomes. Results from the studies speak for themselves.

“Every company has got their post-treatment regimen, but Jan Marini Skin Research uses topical products in combination with devices to get enhanced outcomes, and that’s pretty cutting-edge,” says Biesman. “This is an innovative way of approaching a problem from two different angles and allowing for a faster route to an endpoint, and then you’ve got a topical product that can help maintain that endpoint for longer.”

Not all skin care products are created equal. Dermatologists, plastic surgeons and physicians alike can rely on the high-quality, proven products developed by Jan Marini Skin Research to achieve maximum results for patients with a variety of skin types and concerns.
